Music (and sound!) to your ears

Chromebook audio requires you to update the Airtame app to version 3.3.1 if you haven’t done so already. Afterward, you will be presented with two options. The one being the ability to share any Chrome Tab while the other is for sharing your full screen.

And the best part? You can now add audio to any of your streams.

Need to know

We’ve added a 2-second buffer/delay when you add audio to your stream in order to ensure a stable playback on the big screen.

Chromebook audio requires the Airtame Chromebook version 3.3.1 app and an Airtame device running firmware 3.2.4 or more recent.

What else?

Video performance is conditioned by the hardware capabilities of the given Chromebook. Low-end Chromebooks are usually able to stream video with 10-15 images per second, which isn’t enough for a smooth video experience.

Multitasking during video playback can further reduce the performance, so keep that in mind when streaming.

This 1.8 application update continues to bring improvements to design and user experience. This update includes a new app design that we’re excited to show you!

Highlights

The 1.8 application update includes a new app design, among a few other important bug fixes.

• New app design
• New Electron software framework
• Known bug fixes on Windows

New app design

It’s always been our aim to make the Airtame application simple to use. Our new design is a result of lots of customer feedback and research.

The average Airtame user is using our product during stressful situations: a big sales pitch to a client, a lecture in front of a full classroom, and so on. By removing any unnecessary steps to start a stream, we’re making the Airtame app as dead easy to use as possible.

How to stream with the new Airtame app

Along with removing unnecessary steps, the new design includes handy guides that help the user through the streaming process.

To start a stream, simply click “Start” next to the Airtame device you want to stream to. The stream will start instantly. Once you’re streaming, you’ll be asked if you want to add audio to the stream. Clicking this button lets you play audio and will also optimize the stream to play videos. If you do not need audio, then do not click the button and your stream will continue as usual.

Before we released the update, we showed the new app to testers who are customers like you. The feedback we received was mostly along these lines …

Just updated to the latest 1.8 software. The new interface is much more clean. I like the new button for connecting and think choosing modes is much easier now.

General Fixes

New Electron Framework

Our current Electron framework has been updated to the latest version 1.7, providing better stability, better support, and newer features that we’re excited to tinker with.

Windows bugs fixed

There were some Windows users experiencing an issue with the Airtame application capturing the content of the computer screen, in order to stream to the TV. This problem affected those with a newer Intel Graphics driver and specific screen resolutions.

There were also some who couldn’t see the application on the computer. Both of these bugs are fixed

Go update your app

You’ve heard what’s new, now go update your software! When a software update is available, the Airtame application shows a green alert banner that asks you to restart the app.

Update your Airtame computer software.
